Georgia Interfaith Power & Light (GIPL) is an organization that aims to empower people of faith to engage in issues such as environmental injustices, pollution, climate change and more. Marqus Cole, who serves as the organizing director for GIPL, talks more about the organization’s work and impact. He also shares his thoughts about how faith intersects with climate activism.

Plus, Wanona Satcher is on a mission to address the housing crisis. She is the CEO and founder of Mākhers Studio. The East Point-based construction and management firm specializes in transforming shipping containers into housing and retail solutions. As we spotlight “Closer Look’s” most memorable conversations, we revisit Rose’s conversation with Satcher. She talks about her vision to use micro-housing as a sustainable and viable option to solve the home affordability problem.
